Hello,

I've personally not seen any extension over GTK+/#(I've looked at XFCE a
month ago I think). Can you show us what the Xfce libs added to GTK+.
Because I think it could easily be ported to GTK#.

Yes,

I agree. But the point is that XFCE extents GTK+. But Gtk# does not have
these extra's.

I thought there is an API to XFCE. That is now in C++. But woult be
great if it was available in C#.

What you suggest is to rewrite the XFCE libs in C#.

So
